Proximity of a head to a jug oftimes plays fantistie tricks, hut the incident related by the World is a strain upon the credulity of even those are want to believe everything they see in^print. All reports indicate a landslide for Judge Jones in the Piedmont section. Should the primary election be held now, we have it from authentic sources that Greenville county, the second largest voting county in the State, would go for Jones by 1,500 to 2,(XX) majority, and in Spartanburg, which polls the heaviest wote of any county, the outlook is even more encouraging. At iniS SiagC Ul lilt* campaign tunservative estimators place Jones' majority at from fifteen to twenty thousand over the present encumbent, Cole L Blease In the Republican National convention which meets at Chir~ .cago on Tuesdaj- next, June 18, the line up of delegates will be approximately as follows, conceding Taft the bulk of delegates .yet being contested for: Taft, 465; Roosevelt, 450; La Folletie, .37; Cummings, 10; uninstructed, 116.

Sumter Man's Attempt at Suicide Probably Successful. Sumter. June 7:?Because he has been rejected by a young lady, Julian Harper, a white man 28 years of age, this afternoon drank the contents of an ounce bottle of carbolic acid on the street in front of the postoffice in an attempt to end his life. Harper was almost immediately taken to the hospital, where he received treatment, but where it was reported tonight at 8:30 that there was no possibility of his recovering. Harper, it is said, has been carrying the bottle of carbolic acid with him for some time and made threats to kill himself in case he was rejected by the young lady. He came to Sumter the first part of this year and has been living here with his brother since that time. It will be rembered that J W Harper, a brother, shot and killed a negro Hackman at the Union Depot on Christmas evening two years ago, and afterwards left for Cuba, where j he stayed for almost a year before he returned and gave himself up to the sheriff.
